This amateur film is part 2 of Mr Till's tour of Canada and the US it starts with colour footage of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan with footage shot from the point-of-view of a passenger in a train. The Calgary 'stampede' follows (more a sedate parade past the camera of native Canadians, cowboys, bandsmen and various people on horseback or wagons). There is footage of a rodeo - shot at some distance as well as steer lassooing followed by racing. Till has captured footage from a number of vantage points. The event also features 'chuck' waggon races. At night time, the neons for the American Exposition are shown, then ice-cream vendors. He then journeys through the Rocky Mountains to Vancouver Bay and Seattle which is reached via aircraft (with point-of-view shots of the plane in flight).
